There's a mouse in my car!!! WTF!?!?!? I haven't actually seen the mouse, but I can hear it and it's terrifying. A few months ago I was driving my daughter to school because the bus never came. As we were getting on the practice freeway (35E for those of you who aren't from the Twin Cities, but for those of you coming here for the
*Update - Since no one even guessed, and there is no way anyone could have guessed the outcome of the Saints vs Vikings game, we're gonna do it again.... Just for shits and giggles I'm doing a Vikings Playoff Giveaway. If you can predict, guess or speculate the score of next Sunday's game against the Eagles, you will win some cool Vikings memorabilia. I'm not
Here's another quick and easy recipe for your new pressure cooker - Instant Pot Pea Soup with Lentils in 9 minutes. Yep, 9 minutes to make a hearty, protein rich soup that would normally take an hour or so on the stove top. Nothing brings back warm memories than pea soup. Growing up we had this for dinner at least once a month during the

This recipe, Tater Tot Hot Dish with Mushroom Risotto, is a variation of the Authentic Minnesota Tater Tot Hot Dish. Like all great flukes it happened because I didn't read the recipe carefully and ended up with way too much liquid so I had to find a way to make it less soggy. I had a bag of Alessi Risotto with Mushrooms so I quickly
Now more than ever it's important to learn how to drive in snow. This past weekend a good chunk of the nation received several inches, if not feet, of snow. In fact, 49 of 5o states have been affected by this massive storm. Not every state is covered in snow, but there are many places that don't normally see snow who are now forced to navigate
One of the greatest thing about being a Minnesota Blogger is that I get invited to some pretty cool events. Last night I was lucky enough to attend a preview of Ice Castles in Stillwater, MN. It was a beautifully clear night out because it was -1°F, the windchill was -24°F. Trust me when I say it was cold. It might not be on your
If you like the cold, then you probably love these things to do this January in Minnesota. It's cold, like really cold. Like so cold people who have never lived here really don't understand how cold it can get. Currently it is 10° F. That's cold, but it's going to get even colder.

For your reading pleasure I've put together my sometimes annual Redhead Ranting 2016 Roundup. Every other media outlet does a roundup so I thought, what the heck, I'll do one too!
